Ben, a struggling novelist, has lucked into the gig of a lifetime: ghostwriting a memoir for Esther Lindman, the colorful and infamously outspoken widow of one of the 20th century’s greatest American artists. But when the stories don’t add up, Ben digs deeper, soon discovering that truth — like art — is in the eye of the beholder.

A world-premiere reading of Shearwater, by Victor Wishna, will be presented as part of The Living Room's “Writer’s Den” series of new works. The staged reading begins at 7 p.m., and will be followed by a brief talkback with the playwright, director, and cast. Admission is “pay-what-you-will,” and, as always at The Living Room, there will be comfy chairs and a cash bar.
